Smart Artificial Soft Tissue

October 25, 2026

In this project, we developed a hybrid surgical simulator for training the implantation of laryngeal pacemaker electrodes.

Fetal Heart Phantom
FHSimApUs (Fetal Heart Simulator for the Development and Optimization of Ultrasound Imaging Algorithms) developed an active ultrasound phantom of a beating fetal heart.
MEDUSA
MEDUSA (Medical EDUcation in Surgical Aneurysm clipping) developed a patient-specific mixed-reality simulator for cerebral aneurysm clipping.
Dynamic Tactile Synthetic Tissue
In this project, we developed Dynamic Tactile Synthetic (DTS) Tissue: a fully soft artificial tissue that can both feel and move.
Smart Artificial Soft Tissue
In this project, we developed a hybrid surgical simulator for training the implantation of laryngeal pacemaker electrodes.
PatientSim
PatientSim is our pilot project, in which we are developing a hybrid surgical simulator for cement augmentation techniques.
